Just thought I would chime in as well. I’ve spent most of the day getting this gorgeous template customized for a client. Man does it look beautiful! Then of course, I go over to IE8 and SPLAT, thing looks downright nasty. So, thank you IE, for wasting the last 1 hour of my time as I try to put in all the necessary hacks in place to make you work how you’re supposed to. Microsoft, if you don’t play by the rules in terms of open Web standards then, by golly, I’ll murk you.

Cordially,
BFeezo

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE IN 2010 THAT MY FREEKIN WEB BROWSER CAN SUCK SO BADLY?!?!?!?!?!?

I’ve lost uncountable (ok…around 15) emails due to IE.

I’d be almost finished writing a long drawn out business email, and when I go to send, IE freezes and I lose everything.

Firefox NEVER does that.

OMG! I’m working on a site for a client and I thought well lets check it in IE8. Result: Loads of script conflicts (such as PNG Alpha transparency in combination with jQuery opacity statements) and heaps of display problems. I’ve tried to look for a png fix such as the ones for IE6 and came to the conclusion…. THERE IS NOT ONE!!!!!

AND NOW COMES IT!!!!.

I’ve checked all the sites that I made over the last 2 years in IE8 and I was shocked to see that they all have major issues regarding usability, display and functionality.
After cursing for an hour or so and wishing Bill Fucking Gates everything what we don’t want to have, I really don’t know how I’m going to explain my former clients that I need days and in some cases even, weeks, to solve all the issues and that they have to pay for me to do so while actually BILL FUCKING GATES have to pay me for that.

Seriously, I know that I as a web developer can’t ignore Internet Explorer, because there are still too many end users stuck with the shitiest browser on earth, but deep in my Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc, HEARTH… I WISH I COULD!

Well, I’m working with websites, and I’m sure web developers like me hate Internet Explorer because of its non-standard implementation of html standards. And making Javascript work on Internet Explorer the same way as it should be on Firefox makes my hair fall out.

[...] it’s not surprise to anyone out there that I hate Internet Explorer. No I mean I really hate it! One of the reasons that I hate it so much is that it’s buggy. [...]
